Examples of Electrical Emergencies

Did you know that approximately one in three building fires are the result of electrical problems? Since electricity has the potential to cause so much damage, it's important to act quickly and call a licensed electrician at the first sign of a problem. Electrical issues will not get better on their own, so do not delay!

The following issues constitute electrical emergencies:

• You have no electricity and have confirmed that it's not a blackout or planned shutoff by your power company
• You smell smoke, but you're not sure where it's coming from
• You see smoke coming from a wall outlet
• You hear loud buzzing noises coming from electrical devices, appliances, or lights
• You smell a fishy or urine-like odor indicating overheating or burning of your wiring
• Your circuit breaker keeps tripping even after resetting it

Why Does My Circuit Breaker Keep Tripping?

It may seem like a minor annoyance, but this is actually an indicator of a serious problem with your electrical system that needs to be addressed ASAP. The purpose of your circuit breaker is to cut the flow of electricity when too much power is drawn at once. This is a safety feature that protects your electrical system from overloading and potentially causing a fire. 

If a circuit breaker keeps tripping, the good news is that you can be glad that it's doing it's job to protect you, but it also means that you have a problem with either circuit overload, a short circuit, or a ground fault. It may also indicate that your breaker box itself is failing and in need of replacement. You'll need a professional electrician to troubleshoot and solve these problems.
